Faith and Reason
~ 37 ~
without belief in God, the universe remains as
unexplainable as the entire mechanism of light and
motion is without belief in electric waves.
Thus, the option one has to take is not between the
universe without God and the universe with God.
Rather, the option actually is between the universe
with God, or no universe at all. Since we cannot, for
obvious reasons, opt for the latter proposition, we
are, in fact, left with no other option except the
former, that is, the universe with God.
In view of the recent advancement in scientific
reasoning, a true faith has proved to be as rational
as any other scientific theory. Reason and faith are
now standing on the same ground. In fact, no one
can legitimately reject faith as something irrational,
unless one is ready to reject the rationality of
scientific theories as well. For, all the modern
scientific theories are accepted as proven on the
basis of the same rational criterion by which a
matter of faith would be equally proved true. After
the river of knowledge has reached this advanced
stage, there has remained no logical difference
between the two.
